+ '''inquiētō''' (present infinitive inquiētāre, perfect active inquiētāvī, supine inquiētātum); first conjugation^(Wiktionary)
+ A deponent form ''inquiētor'' also occurs.^(TLL)
+
+ ==Etymology==
+ It is [[af|la|inquiētus|-ō|t1=restless]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL) De Vaan derives [[m|la|quiētus|t=at rest]] from [[quies|alt=quiēs]] “rest”, which goes back to [[itc-pro|*kwiē-ti-]] and [[ine-pro|*kʷieh₁-ti-|t=rest, peace]].^(de Vaan 2008)
+
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ Its first quotations in the OLD are in Seneca, who writes of a man who began to harass his dinner guests, and in Quintilian, who calls it unseemly to fidget with one's nose.^(OLD 2012)
+
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ It is to disturb a person's peace, trouble or harass: Pliny the Younger says he is troubled by no rumours, and by so many complaining petitions.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) In law it is to trouble someone with proceedings: Ulpian says debtors should not be pressed for the principal.^(OLD 2012) It is also to disquiet the mind, as envy does in Seneca, and to interfere with a state of affairs: Tacitus writes of disturbing a victory and delaying peace.^(OLD 2012) Church Latin glosses it to disturb, disquiet.^(Stelten 1995)
